Do you think it is a flock? Anyway, I wanted to tell my sister that we had some young ones to fledge just this week here in west central Georgia. Seems awfully late to me, but I'm not complaining! <BR/>I, too, am envious of your spikket and outdoor sink.

Is there space in your your house for a framed photo of one of these? I think a gallery of your pictures would be so lovely. I see a picture of Johnny framed and matted! He looks outstanding. Every day you could catch a glimps of this beautiful bird and your great photgrapher's eye and be reminded just how great life is! Work maybe a bother but seeing Bluebirds makes it all worth while. <BR/>Your life just became so much easier! Having water close to the pond and a sink so deep will save you time and energy! Maybe you will be able to sit outside and play with the girls and watch your darling birds come and go.<BR/>I am so happy for you!<BR/>Nesting boxes at work and at home will be excellent. The Bluebirds will follow you home for those good meal worms!<BR/>Happy March,<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-75633592311896705222008-03-02T19:56:00.000-05:002008-03-02T19:56:00.000-05:00Those blue birds are gorgeous!

This week!<BR/><BR/>Jayne, I'm pretty simple and easy to please, too. I wish the Bluebirds would show up at home, though.<BR/><BR/>Amy, isn't he beautiful? The first photo is a little enhanced with software because it was taken very far away.<BR/><BR/>Betty, I know you still have snow. I'll bet in a few weeks it will melt and you'll put those coats away... My dogs require a bathtub and a closed door! They hate baths! :o)<BR/><BR/>Jean, everyone should have a sink in the garage. It should be a standard feature in every home.<BR/><BR/>Robin, if they can't find me, they know where to look..."Oh, that Mary is out with her camera again..." <BR/><BR/>Susan, I know how you feel. I looked at some Bluebird nesting boxes and others for wrens, Chickadees, etc. but I'm hesitating. Those damned HOSPs scare me at my house. I might try just ONE soon.<BR/><BR/>Crazyforcinema! Yay! Isn't it a sight for sore eyes? A flock of bluebirds. Lovely.<BR/><BR/>Ocean, you are right. Us birders love the little things - like a nice deep sink to clean feeders in... LOL!<BR/><BR/>Carol, try the nesting box. If the Bluebirds don't show up, you might see other birds finding interest in it. I'm going to try one or two this year and see what happens.<BR/><BR/>Angie, I love my spikkit! HA! I wish Bluebirds to peek into your windows.<BR/><BR/>Annie, you should have a garage sink. As far as the Bluebird, I was almost certain there wouldn't be any on campus this year. He surprised me.<BR/><BR/>Cheryl, LOL! Your wheelbarrow story made me hoot. A friend of mine in Maryland was showered with luxurious gifts for Christmas one year but her favorite gift of all (one that she boasted about) was a brand new shovel and hoe.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, I know...I can't wait to see who he invites. I hope this spring will be full of bluebirds at work if I can't have them at home :o(<BR/><BR/>Nina, I think I'm going to try two nesting boxes at home. One for bluebirds and another for wrens, etc. and see what happens. The house sparrows are a problem but I want to try. Oh, yeah...The simplest things in life are the best :o)<BR/><BR/>Pam, I don't think I can dig and set the lumber by myself so I'm going to offer fast food coupons to some strong men on campus to get the job done THIS WEEK! LOL!<BR/><BR/>Ruthie, you're right! Until the water restrictions are lifted, I won't be using my new "outdoor faucet" very much. I can use it for the pond, however. It's an exception. I had a utility sink in my basement in Maryland and appreciated it. Having one in the garage is even better, and it wasn't too expensive!<BR/><BR/>Toni, well guess what. When I was growing up in MD, I called them spikkits, too :o) I have a Philadelphia accent, too, so they say.<BR/><BR/>Steve, thanks for stopping by! Your blog looks interesting and I will give it some thought. Those Blue Jays are great birds but quite pushy.<BR/><BR/>Peg, good to hear from you. Tonight I'm going to check your blog (tee-hee). Cleaning feeders and pond work was so much easier today...<BR/><BR/>Mary, Bluebirds are magical. Glad you enjoyed the photos.<BR/><BR/>Roy, thank you for visiting.
